Canada Jetlines will begin flights between Toronto and Calgary next month.
Set for its debut on September 22, 2022, Canada Jetlines will begin operations with biweekly flights operating Thursdays and Sundays out of Toronto (YYZ) to Calgary (YYC). Flights will depart Toronto at 7:55 a.m. and then leave Calgary for the return flight at 11:40 MST. Frequency will increase to three flights per week, Thursdays through Sundays, starting October 13.
This route will be the first operated by Canada Jetlines, with more routes to be announced soon.
“Canada Jetlines is proud to launch our initial flights between Toronto to Calgary – two vibrant Canadian cities with numerous tourist destinations including Niagara Falls, Lakes of Ontario, and the CN Tower in the East, and Banff, Kananaskis, Canmore, Lake Louise, Jasper, and the Rocky Mountains in the West,” said Eddy Doyle, CEO of Canada Jetlines. “The two cities represent cultural diversity, economic trade, and significant investment opportunities. We are encouraged to continue expanding our reach, with the goal of serving as Toronto’s preferred airline.”
Canada Jetlines in mid-July began offering tickets for sale for flights between Toronto and both Winnipeg and Moncton, New Brunswick. Those flights were to take place this month but have been delayed.
Still, having a new carrier launching in Canada should help mediate ticket prices for domestic travel in Canada. Also coming on stream in the past couple years are Flair Airlines and Lynx Air. Porter Airlines plans to expand dramatically later this year, with flights from Toronto Pearson to the west coast of Canada and the U.S., as well as to Mexico and the Caribbean.
“The launch of Canada Jetlines is yet another milestone marking recovery in the travel and tourism sector,” said Bob Sartor, President and CEO of The Calgary Airport Authority. “YYC is eager to welcome Canada Jetlines’ guests by showcasing the effortless and memorable experiences that reflect our region and Calgary’s legendary hospitality.”
